While at Hua Hin for the ASEAN Summit, just hours after the 2010 budget presentation in Parliament, I decided to call for a meeting to discuss the budget implementation. This decision is unprecedented: usually the budget implementation is left up to the Ministry of Finance to execute and monitor. However, I believe that as the Prime Minister of all Malaysians, it is vital that I personally supervise the effectuation of the first budget under my administration.
The main objective of the meeting was to study the implementation strategy for the 2010 National Budget and to troubleshoot problem areas at the start. Present at the meeting last Friday were all cabinet ministers and representatives of the relevant agencies, including the Securities Commission, the Governor of Bank Negara, as well as representatives from development corridors and regions, Telekom, Petronas and other major GLCs. It was an arduous task to personally study each initiative, project by project, line by line, but I wanted to ensure all accountable parties are clear on the objectives and goals of each initiative, hence ensuring proper implementation.
The progress of projects listed in the Budget will be monitored closely by the Project Management Unit (PMU) in the Ministry of Finance with the support of the Implementation Coordination Unit (ICU) to identify and resolve any roadblocks delaying the completion of these projects. I have also impressed upon the custodians of these initiatives the importance of maintaining proper communications between federal and state authorities to quickly resolve land issues or other issues concerning the state government.
To ensure the integrity of the implementation, findings tabled by the Implementation Coordination Unit will be reported via the Economic Council. All these efforts are put in place so the country remains on course to achieve its 2010 GDP target. It is also in line with the government's commitment to deliver according to the People First, Performance Now concept.
I hope that from the meeting on Friday, there is no doubt of my serious intention to see the goals of the 2010 Budget achieved and the government delivery system improve for the long-term benefit of the Rakyat.

We have been so thralled by your concept of 1MALAYSIA, we want to be part of that success story. Hence we want to be part of the team who will spread and practice this 1MALAYSIA. Give us a chance to show you what we believe in and how it has become part of our lives. We await your response with eagerness.

Good day to you.
Firstly, i'd like to thank you for being such an inspiration to the staff and students of KDU College, PJ. We have been trying very hard to approach YB to be our Guest of Honour for this year's event. It falls on the 6th of August 2010 at 8.30pm. Though we'd love to have you with us till the end of the event, we understand your tight schedule and would be honoured if YB could spend 1 hour for the opening ceremony. For you information, YB, last year's theme was 1Malaysia. This year we're taking it a step further to celebrate the colours of Malaysians in harmony and have themed it as Citrawarna Malaysia. As believers of your vibrant motto, we anticipate to hear from you at the soonest. We can be contacted at mhema@kdu.edu.my or sathya@kdu.edu.my or directly contacted at 012-3076230 (Ms Sathya).
Yours Sincerely,

Saya ingin meminta Dato Sri mengkaji cukai untuk motorsikal berkuasa tinggi supaya berpatutan dan mampu dimiliki oleh 1Malaysia.
Sebagai contoh, Honda CB400 diSingapore dianggap 'kapcai'. Tetapi di Malaysia ianya lebih mahal daripada myvi.Dengan keadaan kota yang penuh sesak, kami berharap untuk menggunakan motorsikal yang selamat.
Harap Dato Sri dapat menolong. Cukai yang kurang boleh di tampung dengan menaikan lagi cukai rokok dan arak dengan setinggi-tingginya. Benda yang berfaedah untuk rakyat perlu dipermudahkan manakala yang tak elok, eloklah kita cuba mencegah.
Terima kasih
apa pandangan dato' seri mengenai sistem subsidi di malaysia.perlukah kita 'reform' the subsidy system. saya juga berharap mendapat pandangan dari semua pihak yang berminat.
It is felt that Astro, without a competitor, is a monopoly not giving the rakyat a choice of quality n charges.
And whilst on the subject of Astro, the 3 minute or so delays in the foreign and sports channel is sickening. All live events are 3 minutes late, are we so fearful of foreign perpective of 1Malaysia, that the 3 minute delay is required to exclude the contents , are Malaysians so immatured to evaluated validity of news. In the case of sports, we are probably the only nation on earth to see a live match 3 minutes delayed tosnip off foreign adverts, surely there is a technology to discard the adverts without delaying a goal in a soccer match by 3 minutes.
Saya bersara 15/1/98 dgn pangkat PW1.Baru2 ini ada Brig.Jen. bercerita psl Akta Veteran.Memang sedap dengar, mereka yang khidmat 10,15 dan 18 thn akan diberi pencen.
Soalan saya:
1.Bagaimana ini dapat dilakukan? Saya menyumbang RM120,000.00 kepada LTAT utk biaya pencen. Mereka sumbang apa?
2.Pesara yang pencennya rendah naik RM720. Mereka yang bersara selepas 2002 dengan pangkat KPL menerima pencen RM1300. Sedangkan pesara Pegawai Waren yang masih hidup terima Pencen RM1050. Apakah asas penilaiannya? Sedangkan Petani dan Nelayan pun diberi percuma RM200 sebulan
3.Kos hidup kian perit. Beras Nasional RM16 dijual RM20. Ikan selayang RM2/kilo jadi RM6. Belanja anak kesekolah minimum RM3/seorang. Apa akan jadi bila harga minyak diubah pada Mei nanti? Fikirkan nasib kami sama.
Terima kasih.

Implementing the 1Malaysia Budget
